Definitions

the invention relates to a convertible vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
the bow is arched upwards in relation to the side longitudinal member parts to allow the roof tension. This can cause collisions when folded the bows of different roof parts come, especially between bows of the first roof part facing the windshield frame and those of a roof part adjoining on the back.
the invention is based on the problem of achieving an improvement here.
At least one control means is provided effective depending on the opening or closing state of the roof is, for example, advantageously a mechanical pull and push rod on each side. This is a forced displacement of the bow during opening or Closing the hood causes. No additional drive or control elements are required which would have to be actuated by the driver, in order to shift to reach the mirror. Rather, when the top is opened by the control means the shift was carried out just as compulsorily as with then closing in the return position.
the pull and push rod can also intercept a lateral force component can, for example, if the movement of the lateral Side member parts not only take place in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, but also one Has cross component.
the convertible vehicle 1 has a so-called Finn top 2 on, d. That is, in the rear area of the convertible top 2, two side clamps 3 are provided, each of which is a triangular outline shape in plan view and parts of the soft top material - not shown - on the rear of the vehicle 4 tense.
the convertible top 2 is designed here as a textile folding top, that on a linkage provided with side rail members 5 and 6 via cross-member 7,8,9 and 10, so-called bow, is tense. It is also possible, to provide hoods for an inventive convertible vehicle, at least are rigid in some areas. In such a convertible vehicle 1, as here shown, a rear window 11 is substantially perpendicular between the Clamps 3 and is arranged upstream in the direction of travel F. Even for conventional ones A training according to the invention is useful under certain circumstances.
the roof 2 is in the closed state opposite the windshield frame 12 with a front transverse roof end 13, for example a plate part, created.
the bow 7,8,9,10 show a curvature and are arranged such that they are at least in the area of a median longitudinal plane up to above the lateral one Side member parts 5.6 extend to stretch the top fabric and give it its cambered To give final form.
a control means 14 is provided, for example a separate drive, a spring or the like, in the embodiment a pull and push rod 14.
This extends when the top is closed 2 parallel to the longitudinal extent of the longitudinal beam parts 5, 6.
the pull and push rod 14 is with its front end 15 in the direction of travel F when the convertible top 2 is closed mounted on the stub axles 16, with which the first bow 7 in a lateral Guide link 17 is mounted and displaceable.
the train and Push rod on a handlebar 18 pivotally held, the handlebar 18 part of a four-bar linkage 21, 22, 23, 24 connecting the first two roof parts 19, 20.
the four-bar joint comprises on the one hand the main joint 21 and the frame parts 5 three further joints 22, 23 and 24, which are used to connect links 18, 25, 26 and 27 serve.
the handlebars 18, 25, 26, 27 With the opening of the top 2, the handlebars 18, 25, 26, 27 are off their approximately parallel position in the closed position in an open against each other Position (Fig. 5) spent.
the articulation axis 28 of the train and Push rod 14 relative to the longitudinal member part 5 in the direction of the roof cross closure 13 relocated so that the front end 15 of the push rod 14, the stub axle 16 which is held in the longitudinal guide link 17 in the direction of the front Roof end 13 moves.
the lateral longitudinal beam parts 5 and 6 at substantially perpendicular to their extension located swivel axes 29,30 are divided and a further pull and push rod 31 a transverse inward movement effective during the opening of the roof to the areas with the four-bar linkages between the pivot axes 29, 30 21,22,23 and 24 is exercised to allow for the available width for to enlarge the occupants with the convertible top 2 open.
This additional transverse motion component to be able to intercept, the tension and push member 14 on the Axle stub 16 held on pivotable spherical bearings.
